I start thinking about Running backs and Zeke doesn’t touch the top 5.
Emmit, Dorsett, Herschel, Calvin Hill and Moose. Then Zeke clumped with Murray, Barber, and Pearson. I never saw Pearson andHill play of course and Moose was used as a true fullback but impact wise I would still put him above Zeke.
I know everyone gives LT shit for his high opinion of Murray, but I think Murray was really really good but you can't rate or rank a guy on potential.....you have to put them on what they actually achieved and accomplished.
And there's no doubt that what Zeke did his first 4 years in the league blows Murray's first 4 years away.
However, I do think Murray could've equaled that output, maybe even surpassed it, had he been used the same way Zeke was.
Zeke was fortunate that he came to the Cowboys AFTER Garrett (begrudgingly) began to make more of an effort to incorporate the running game.
Murray played the majority of his Cowboys career for Garrett when the dumbass was a pass-happy moron. Murray had plenty of games when he was killing it on the ground only to finish the game with less than 20 carries or watch his second half carries dwindle for no reason other than Garrett idiotically choosing to keep throwing the ball regardless of the circumstances or situations we were in.
His head looks smaller though.He looks fat to me.

Looked like a damn guard in that video.He looks fat to me.
The greatest example of my last point right there.
He's got a ton of gear on and I don't know why.He looks fat to me.
Does he have a flak jacket around his waist?He's got a ton of gear on and I don't know why.
I don't know, but it's clear he's wearing all types of shit and I don't know why.Does he have a flak jacket around his waist?
I enjoyed watching Calvin Hill more, but I'd put Zeke above Hill. I'd put Walker above Zeke.All due respect, that's insane. I love Moose but Zeke was way better. Way better. Pearson (I'm assuming you mean Preston) shouldn't even be in the conversation, nor should Barber.
I'd put Zeke above Hill (who admittedly I also never saw other than highlights) and Herschel as well.
I appreciate how labored he looks even just jumping down those stairs. I'm convinced more than ever that the dude just doesn't have the physical ability and endurance to last anymore. I mean seriously, watch the guy before him hop down and then watch Zeke's labored step down.
